I'll try scalloping the top 4 frets on one of my RGs. If that feels fine, i'll do it on my Uni, so it'll be like a Jem (Almost all jems have 21-24 frets scalloped.)


Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, on high,
Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie,
Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally.
Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee
Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread
Its branches like a Temple overhead.

I played a used S540-7 that someone had scalloped, at GC one day. Dude, this kicked major ass. It kinda hurt, but I swear I played more accurately and faster.

A 7 with a scalloped neck. Now that is cool.

Yeah, but on the positive side, when you play with a light touch you're more relaxed, and when you play more relaxed, you're faster and more accurate. So, it sorta forces you to be better...

Also, it KILLS for vibrato, I hear.

Buddy of mine had "Relaxed Precision" written across the top of his preamp to remind him of just that.

I like that. This wouldn't be Ben of Ra, would it?

Heh. That sounds so midaeval...

Anyway, I've been tempted to scallop the top four frets of my 7620 for quite some time, but I'd want to spend some more time on a guitar with scallops first. I still have a beater electric at my parents' place, maybe over thanksgiving I'll try it.
